Today, nearly every high street boozer offers some variation of the day-drinking bonanza. But which spot gives you the most bang for you buck? Take a look below to find out. Slug & Lettuce Rating: 4.5/5 Price: £33.95 per person Sunday to Friday, £39.95 per person on Saturday £33.95 per person Sunday to Friday, £39.95 per person on Saturday Drinks: Eight cocktails to choose from, along with spirits mocktails and larger Eight cocktails to choose from, along with spirits mocktails and larger Food : Good mix of brunch classics alongside some stodgy options for soaking up booze : Good mix of brunch classics alongside some stodgy options for soaking up booze Time: 2 hours The drinks selection is impressive as it includes processo and cocktails, such as Woo Woo and Aperol Spritz, as many independent pubs and bars only offer prosecco or mimosas. There's only one beer option - Amstel. Which might be a downer for larger fans. Food is included and it has classics like eggs benedict and avocado and poached eggs. There are also a few more stodgy options, ideal for soaking up the booze, like a bacon cheeseburger and fries or shredded chicken and waffles. The whole table can upgrade for £10 per person to get access to a choice of Pornstar Martinis, Espresso Martinis or S&L Sangria. I tried Butlin's 90's Reloaded Weekender breaks with DJ pool parties and bottomless booze This would take your bill £43.95 per head. All in all, its a pretty decent spot considering you can expect to pay £13.45 for two Aperol Spritz at the joint if you just came for drinks with a friend. The bacon cheeseburger, when your not doing bottomless costs £13.95 on its own. So even if you ordered two rounds of 2 for 1 cocktails and the burger your total would come to £40.85. That's a saving of £6.90. If I was planning a bottomless soon, Slug & Lettuce would be my go too. Those who can look past the flowery decor and neon signs can get their hands on a decent meal and impressive drinks list for a bargain price. LAS IGUANAS Rating: 4/5 Price: £37.95 per person everyday until 3pm £37.95 per person everyday until 3pm Drinks: 10 cocktails to choose from, along with prosecco, Corona and spirits 10 cocktails to choose from, along with prosecco, Corona and spirits Food : Tasty menu that will excite those sick of avocado on toast : Tasty menu that will excite those sick of avocado on toast Time: 2 hours This is a South American themed restaurant and is often a fan favourite amongst Uni students. It's bottomless brunch comes in at slightly more pricey than Slug & Lettuce at £37.95 per person and is available everyday until 3pm. You get two hours to drink and eat it up and food is included in the price. Again, you can expect an array of cocktails and just one beer option a Corona. If you are off the sauce there is an option to have soft drinks instead. Off the bat, the cocktails are not as well known as what our first contender offers. Drinks like Coconut Sour Bomb and Wray of Sunshine are likely to deter fussier guests. There is also a risk you order something you don't like. However, when it comes to food the high street chain is a little more adventurous, ditching the eggs and offering a Katsu curry instead. You can also try a chilli con carne or mac 'n' cheese instead. Quesadillas are also an option for those in need of carbs. You can upgrade for £5.50 per person to try the premium menu, which includes enchiladas. That would take your total cost to £43.50. While slightly more expensive, this bottomless menu sounds much more enticing than other chains. In terms of value, a Woo Woo costs £9.50 on its own. But the chain regularly runs 2 for 1 offers through out the day. The price of a main costs around £15. So if you ordered two rounds of 2 for 1 cocktails and a main it would come to £34. That comes in around three quid less than the price of bottomless. Being realistic, many people will have more than two or three cocktails when they head to a bottomless. But it is something to bear in mind if you plan to take it easy. This would be a good second choice for those looking to do bottomless on a bargain. I think the food choices are by far the best of any high street chain, and while the cocktail list is a little less unknown, most would find something they like. MEGAN'S Rating: 2/5 Price: £25 per person £25 per person Drinks: five options including prosecco, breakfast martinis Bellinis, IPA five options including prosecco, breakfast martinis Bellinis, IPA Food : Extensive list of Mediterranean delights, but not included in price : Extensive list of Mediterranean delights, but not included in price Time: 90 minutes This trendy cafe is loved by many for it's Instagram worthy aesthetic - but how does it hold up in terms of bottomless. You get less time - 90 minutes - for £25 per person every weekend and bank holiday until 5pm. The drinks selection is slightly less generous than what we have seen with other chains. Also, the £25 only covers bottomless, so you will need to add extra for your food. As you are not ordering off a set menu, the options are endless and include everything from shakshouma to open kebabs. Prices range from £14.90 for the shakshouma to £13.90 for the kebab. There are cheaper menu items such as £7.90 for eggs on toasts or £6.90 for loaded hasbrowns, but you may not be very full after eating this. If you opted for the loaded hashbrowns with bottomless, you would pay £31.90, which is cheaper than other contenders. However, if you opted for the open kebab with chicken & halloumi chargrilled chicken thigh & grilled halloumi you would be adding another £17.90 to your bill, taking it to £42.90. In terms of value, a breakfast martini costs £10.90 at Megans if you are not doing bottomless. Those not doing bottomless would pay £43.60 for four drinks, and then would have to add whatever extra for their choice of meal. Megan's was voted the best spot in London for bottomless brunch, but I would have to disagree. It's great customers have a varied menu but I believe doing a bottomless at Megan's runs the risk of becoming pricey. The drinks selection is also a tad bit boring. From the mimosas to the bellini's to just straight up bottles of prosecco. It feels like an overload of the poor man's champagne. A glass of bubbly is already a pretty inexpensive drink to order at a pub, so I don't really feel like I am being treated here. That's compared to Slug & Lettuce or even Las Iguanas, where customers get a chance to order round after round of pricey cocktails they would normally be hesitant to order. Turtle Bay Rating: 3/5 Price: £40.88 £40.88 Drinks: 20 cocktails no beer or spirits 20 cocktails no beer or spirits Food : Tasty Caribbean menu perfect for carb loading : Tasty Caribbean menu perfect for carb loading Time: 2 hours This Caribbean themed restaurants promises two hours of bottomless drinks and one meal for £40.88 per person. You get a choice of cocktails, but no spirits or beer are on offer with at this chain. Cocktail fans have a range to choose from, including Passion Fruit Coconut Espresso Martini, Reggae Rum Punch and Strawberry Daiquiri. There is a varied menu and customers can pick anything from its brunch or lunch selection, which is included in the price. This includes Mac & Cheese, Curry Goat or Ackee on Sourdough Toast. Like many of these high street chains, Turtle Bay offers 2 for 1 on cocktails during specific times during the day, and drinks cost around £12. If you headed there during happy hour and ordered two 2 for 1 Strawberry Daiquiri's and the Curry Goat (£16) it would come to £40. That's 88p cheaper than if you did bottomless, and while you may plan on drinking more it's something to consider. While the food and cocktail selection is good, this is one of the more expensive bottomless options on the high street. If you are not planning on drinking your body weight in Reggae Rum Punch. I would recommend sticking to the 2 for 1 cocktails offer to save cash. TGI FRIDAY'S Rating: 3.5/5 Price: £29.95 £29.95 Drinks: five drinks no cocktails five drinks no cocktails Food : Selection of American style fast food : Selection of American style fast food Time: 2 hours Many people might be unaware the American themed diner offers a bottomless option. Customers pay £29.95 per person and get a choice of the five drinks including TGI Fridays American Pilsner, House Vodka, Rum, Gin and whiskey for two hours. For an extra £5 you can upgrade to bottomless cocktails such as Aperol Spritz, Strawberry Daiquiri, Bubblegum Daiquiri, Piña Colada. That would take your cost to £34.95. In terms of food you have a choice of wings. mozzarella dippers, nachos and fries are included with every order. You can again upgrade to have a main, which will add an extra £10 to your bill. The drinks option for TGI's basic bottomless package is not very exciting, and I think many would end up upgrading to get free flowing cocktails. In terms of food, the fact orders come with fries is a plus and I think their is something for everyone on the menu. Compared to places like Megan's or Turtle Bay, the food is quite plain but great for lining your stomach ahead of a night on the town. Those not doing bottomless would pay £9.50 for mozzarella dippers, £4.50 for fries and £19 for four vodkas. That comes in at £33. That's a saving of £3.05 for those who did bottomless. For those who could stomach bottomless vodka cokes, this might be a hidden gem. But I fear the majority would struggle with this limited drinks choice, and would recommend a party splashing out an extra £3 or £4 to go to a different chain. The fact you get food included in the less than £30 price point, gives TGI some brownie points but I would not be rushing out anytime soon. Who comes out on top? Taking time, drink, food and price into consideration, Slug & Lettuce appears to come out on top. The trendy pub chain has something for everyone on the menu, and you get a chance to save on expensive cocktails, such as Aperol Spritz or Sex on the Beach. At £33.95 it is more expensive than Megan's but food is included in the price. A close second would be Las Iguana's but the lack of well known cocktails within it's package lets the chain down.
